I recently heard a troupe in Nashville is going to do an adaptation of Henry V set in the American Civil War. I haven’t seen a script but that sounds like a fail on sooo many levels.

How stupid would a person have to be to think he could do that?
Oh, yeah, I’m as brilliant as Shakespeare. Just hold muh beer, and watch this.
Shakespeare staged in different places and time periods works great; I’ve seen an antebellum south staging of Love’s Labours Lost and a post-Statue of Liberty NYC staging of Shrew, and that movie of Dream about ten years ago was set in early 20th c Italy. :’)
